I have my WCA telephone assessment next Friday. I'm worried as I forgot to keep a copy of the form

lawraahh30

Hello everyone, I have my WCA telephone assessment next Friday. This is the first time I have had one and I have been reading that I should have kept a copy of the form I sent off however I didn’t think to do this and am now freaking out that if they ask me what I wrote exactly I won’t be able to say it exact as I posted it off months ago now!

Thanks for any help

No email copy either

would they send me a copy in time if I asked for one now?

Thanks, have sent an email, hoping they can send me a copy of my form to me before next week. If not then I’m not sure what to do!

Hi there

It is advisable to keep a copy but not the end of the world

They will not ask you to repeat what you put on the form

They will ask questions based on your form but all you need to do is answer with as much detail about how your condition affects your ability and how this would impact in a work environment

Dwp don't normally send out a copy of your assessment form or respond to emails

Contact is usually through your online journal if on uc

Thankyou so much for your reply, I am very anxious about it, as I lose my vision a lot of the time, due to having a cyst on my brain, so even if I had a copy of it to hand I can’t say I would be able to read it anyway!

It's unlikely that the Health Assessment Advisory Service who complete the assessments will send you a copy of the form you sent. Just do your best to answer the questions with as much detail as possible and avoid answering with just a yes or no.

Okay, I’m so nervous but thanks for your help.

i had mine 2 weeks ago, got a letter today saying id been placed into LCWRA, a huge weight lifted off my shoulders...i have severe COPD as well as some other illnesses....my work coach told me to give my answers based on how my illness affects me on my very worst day, some days i might be able to walk further than 50 meters but on my worst day i can't walk 10 meters without falling over due to shortness of breath and getting dizzy.....just be honest and don't worry if you don't get it on the first try, make sure you dispute...i made an account just to leave you this message so good luck, i hope it works out for you!!

Great news on that decision. However, the advice from your work coach to base your answers on your worst days is extremely bad advice and you should never ever do this. You should tell about all of your days and not just your bad ones.
